Volleyball Outlasts UNH, 3-2, on Senior Day

Bearcats move into top spot in the America East standings

VESTAL, N.Y. (binghamtonbearcats.com) - Binghamton Volleyball (17-9, 7-2) outlasted New Hampshire (15-9, 6-3), 3-2, Sunday afternoon inside the Events Center after dropping the first two sets. The win moves the Bearcats into the top spot in the America East standings with one week left in the regular season. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 
New Hampshire dominated the first two sets on Dr. Bai Lee Court, holding Binghamton 20 kills and a 0.074 hitting percentage across the frame. 

The Bearcats bounced back in the third set, using three, 3-0 runs to chip away at the Wildcats and claim the frame 25-18. Binghamton registered a match-best .282 attack percentage in  stanza three. 

The home team scored five consecutive points to establish a 9-6 advantage in the fourth set before New Hampshire rallied to tie it at 21 apiece. The Bearcats notched four of the next six points to win the frame 25-23 and force a deciding set.

  • The Bearcats recorded a season-high 94 digs against the Wildcats. Four players, Tsvetelina Ilieva (17), Lottie Scully (16), Emily Cronkhite (14) and Danit Cohen (12) registered double-digit digs in the win. 
  • With 20 kills this afternoon, Tsvetelina Ilieva set a new Binghamton single-season program record with 459 total kills. Ilieva bested Iva Partaleva's 2012 mark of 448 kills. Her 73 attack attempts against the Wildcats today also tied Katie Brody's 2005 single-game school record against Niagara.
